Now that we know “The Next Galaxy” will be introduced to the world on May 3rd in London, what specs are you looking for in this new flagship device from Samsung? The Galaxy S II, it’s predecessor, is a beast of a phone, and it is safe to assume that Samsung will unveil an upgraded, more modern, even BEASTLIER mobile device that will be coveted the world over. Are you planning on purchasing this highly anticipated smartphone, or will it take a minor miracle for you to even consider a purchase? I’ve been anxious to take the temperature of the community on this one so please sound off, I want to hear from you!

1080P that would just be pointless, one the 720p Display on the galaxy nexus already has a dpi higher then 300, the human eye can’t tell the difference from anything higher then 300. Unless the screen is substantially larger there is no need to go higher then 720p, and would just be a waster of processing power, and space (phone would have to render at 1080p which uses my CPU/GPU power, and apps would need to be larger to be optimized for 1080p..)

along with the Exynos 5250 (i’ll be very disappointed if this isn’t included) and a battery that gets me through a full days use, i would really like to see S-pen integration. the premium suite video samsung released for ICS for the note has some amazing features, and I would love to see it adapted to the GS3!

Also I hopesamsung has a feature similar to HTC where you can take video and still photos at the same time!

4.6 SAMOLED+ HD
Menu Button
MicroSD support
2500 mAh Removable battery(I’m being very rough about this)
Exynos 5
Bluetooth 4.0
2 GB RAM (Samsung announced their RAM over a year ago, I expected to see it in the S II. It will definitely make it this time)
8 MP Zero shutter lag cam with great low light capture. ( Samsung had been working on this)
A couple more of features… could be anything.. maybe the finish? of the waterproof coating.
Rest will be the standard stuffs.

The whole point of the menu button being removed from ICS is to make it obvious when there is something else in the (overflow) menu. If it comes back, then it’s back to the guessing game of is there or isn’t there something else hidden here.

Don’t really like the idea of another menu button. I’d prefer a phone without the capacitive keys(more room for the screen) but other then that your comment pretty much sums it up! Can’t wait to see it!! :D

I don’t have big hands (although not tiny either). I am currently carrying a 4 inch original SGS. Going to something like 4.6 inch is too much of a jump for me I think. But hopefully I will get used to it. Anyway you should do an article about how OEMs should still make high end medium sized android phones.

I honestly don’t think it will be as bad as you’re thinking. I went from 3.2″ to 4.0″ to the Note which is 5.3″. When I first got it I was pretty overwhelmed, yet in awe about the size. After the first few days, I tried flashing a rom on my Nexus S and wondered how I could ever use a phone so small.

I have been really pleased with my sgs2 so anything over and over that phone will be a bonus. Since installing the ICS ROM the phone freezes and drains the battery, so if they fix that and improve the camera, speed etc, then I will be a happy chappy. I hope there’s an option to revert to the ICS home launcher instead of having to use TouchWiz.

I think it will have 720p resolution, with a screen of 4,7 inches. It should have USB OTG support (with a microUSB port), like Galaxy S II, a microSD card slot, a mini or micro HDMI port, uniform body, the same gorgeous screen as the S II, 2 GB of RAM (although 1 GB of RAM would be enough), zero shutter lag camera, at least 32 GB of internal storage, the latest Exynos 5 SoC and a very, ridiculous, extra-large battery that could help the phone last 2 days under heavy usage.

Yeah, I put in it everything I would want from a smartphone in this very moment. I would also love if the micro USB, the micro HDMI, the headphone jack and the power port could be covered somehow to be protected from dust. I forgot to put in a headphone jack.

I would bet my house on the phone having 4 out of the 6 listed above but I’m still unsure about the processor, and who knows what size battery it will have.

It will make sense for them to use the 5250 processor to be able to compete with Apple and any new flagship android devices that will be released later in the year.

The screen will be at least 720p but hopefully not any more. 1080p seems pointless and overkill and if they went with a resolution of more than 720 but below 1080 it will cause all sorts of problems when using different apps with the non standard resolution.

I’m running the original SGS with a measily 369mb of ram. I don’t know if a phone ever starts running out of memory with 1GB inside it – I can’t imagine so – but if it came with 1.5gb / 2gb then it future proofs us some more.

I’m hoping for big internal storage. I’m not too fussed about a SD card. It’s handy and I use mine a lot but it is a slow link in any phone. There are too many dodgy / slow / incompatible cards out there and I can see more and more manufacturers not including them.

I think 8MP is about right for a smart phone camera due to picture size. Couple that with a good sensor and you can get great pictures. Remember more MP doesn’t mean better pictures.

I’m hoping for some miracles in energy use which will mean that the processor, screen and wireless adaptors use next to no power and the phone will have a small battery and be wafer thin (not likely) – otherwise just chuck a massive battery in there so it will easily last all day.
